Thank you
Maybe except for the composition and the half covering idea, most phone camera user can replicate this quality anywhere else.
8sec is the most I can go before the light will make the building lines blurry or too much overexposed areas.
Btw I'm not saying my compositions are unique or my exposure ideas is jin satki... it is just that I took more time planning and thinking about the shots as opposed to most users who will get shots at the spur of the moment.
Other than that the phone's operation is smooth. Even during multiple long exposure with the phone saving both jpeg and raw shots again and again, it didn't fail once.
My older Nokia 808 and Lumia 1020 do sometimes hang or forced close during heavy shooting. My wife's xperia Z3 usually have a warning, during heaving shooting, that the phone is overheating and they will close the camera app and prevent it from opening for a while.
So, at this moment I don't see any problem with the Snapdragon 808 or 3GB ram. Obviously
software implementation is also important to make the hardware work at top notch.
I just realize that when I bought a new rechargeable AA battery, I cannot charge it fully the first round.
It takes a few rounds of charging for it to be closer to 100% and it will last longer over time.
So maybe it is the case here. Battery testing should be done after a few cycle of charging?
